I also try to make sure I disambiguate any object references, e.g.
Dim Rst1 As ADODB.Recordset
Dim Rst2 As DAO.Recordset

– oh, just upgraded to Access 2003 and now the default references in a new database include DAO and second ADO

Thanks Hans, I’d got that list, but I wasn’t looking in the right place
– urgh, the shortcuts are a bit of a mess

I had a problem with my toolbox, which deleting and re-installing didn’t fix
– the answer was to delete a config file, which the VS IDE then rebuilt, and voila, my toolbox was working again

I’m wondering if this approach might solve your problem
– BUT, I can’t remember the file
– you could try googling the Microsoft news groups for my name and see if you can track the response where the Microsoft person told me about this deletion

Another thought, there is an option in VS IDE to reset

Yes you can use VSS with Access, I do all the time
The add-in in XP Developer add a new menu to the Access IDE.
You’ll need to create a new Source Safe “database” using the VSS Admin program.

Seems like good advice to me Charlotte
– now to persuade the management to shell out for a copy of Sage

Thanks for the pointer Charlotte
– the package wizard, wonder how it compares to the Sage install scripts
– the property scanner looks like half of the excellent Find & Replace at http://www.rickworld.com/products.html%5B/url%5D
– custom startup wizard looks nice

Argh, the link is behind their subscription, so non-subscribers can’t see it
– guess who didn’t renew his subscription a couple of months ago

Charlotte, I think I’ve tracked down the cause
– upgrade to VSS 6.0d as part of VS.NET 2003
– I uninstalled 6.0d, re-installed 6.0b from my Office XP Developer, then the VSS SP6 to get it back to 6.0c and I’m glad to say Add Objects is back

Did some poking on microsoft newsgroups and found a couple of messages on the topic, so other people have been bitten
but nothing from any Microsoft person on a likely fix
